LAST RECORDING SESSION!!!





I am finally done with the recording of "Invisible" Last Monday was the last recording session. My buddy Jonathan Dane (I can't believe it bro, 12 years have gone by since you joined the band) Did a wonderful job with his trumpet, and I did the last "coloring" tracks with a few percussion toys. Now, mixing, mastering and that is it!!!!!!!

SUNDAY BREAKFAST/ MOM'S RECIPE/INVISIBLE!


My mom's old recipe for huevos con tomate: four eggs, roasted chiles and tomatoes, shallots and garlic(drop the tomatoes in boiling water for ten seconds in order to get rid of the peel), parsley, cilantro, salt and pepper to taste...HMMMMMMM!!! Delicious!. Add to that a salad of grape fruit, strawberries and bananas, with just a little hint of jasmine honey and rose water, some cafe con leche,and you are in for a great treat and a wonderful beginning of a lazy Sunday morning! After breakfast, back to the studio and some more editing on "INVISIBLE", my new CD to be out this December.

OLDER BUT WISER...I THINK!!!!!!!!



Tired, after an intense but wonderful session at "Sound Design" Studios in Santa Barbara, CA, with Dom Camardella, studio owner and old friend, and great organ player Jimmy Calire. Check out the absolutely beautiful brand new Neve console. It was a blast and I got exactly what I was looking for!!!!!!!
